Two workplace enemies find themselves in close proximity on a tropical company retreat that challenges their assumptions—and just might make them to fall for each other—in this romcom by a beloved TikTok author.
Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of color to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher—the boss’s son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she’s picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It’s a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program—plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee.
Tris plans to avoid
Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck
sharing the honeymoon suite. Sure, it’s not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering
ten—okay fine, an eleven—but after years of competition, they can barely stand
being in the same time zone. As they vie against each other during aptitude
tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the
villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who
might have been standing in her corner all along?
This was a cute read.
I loved Tris and Rafe’s story. Their banter made the book enjoyable. The workplace
harassment was so frustrating and how it was handled was even worse but
accurate to real life.
